Helicopter evacuation from our location in the Alaskan arctic

June in the Alaskan western Arctic while filming our PBS Nature special ‘Bears of the Last Frontier’. We had to get off this mountain top pretty quickly before the fog trapped us there. Very frustrating as we had just found a HUGE caribou herd to film. They were a part of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd which is made up of 400,000 animals!

Our three-part mini series airs on PBS Nature on Many 8, 15, and 22 this year (2011). I hope you enjoy it. Look our for my accompanying book too with the same title (available at book stores in April). More on that soon.
